We were kids in a parking lot 7-Eleven, drinking what we got Shared headphones on your dad’s old car Blink-182 under shooting stars
You wore my hoodie in July heat We burned CDs on repeat Said forever on a Sharpie heart Now forever’s where the endings start
AIM away messages at 2AM Said “don’t forget me” — I won’t, I can’t We were living like time would wait Like nothing good could ever break
It’s all just sand in my hands Like a beach trip we never planned Boardwalk nights, cheap romance Now it’s gone and I don’t understand
We were firework summer gold Disposable dreams we couldn’t hold Tell me where it all went I’m still where it meant
Everything
(Oh-oh-oh) Mall lights fade, we don’t stay (Oh-oh-oh) Polaroids start to decay (Oh-oh-oh) I keep stuck in that place Where your laugh won’t erase
Skatepark nights, bleeding knees You kissed me under flickering streetlights cheap Your lipstick on a plastic cup We were kids who never grew up
Now it’s bars and a different crowd Same songs but they don’t hit loud I see your face in strangers’ eyes Like every version of you survived
We were infinite for a night Driving nowhere, just headlights Now I’m stuck in rearview scenes Of everything we used to be
It’s all just sand in my hands Like a mixtape left in the sand Every word, every plan Just erased like we never began
We were firework summer gold Now we’re stories never told Tell me where it all went I’m still where it meant
Everything
If time was real, I’d rewind that track Press play on everything we had Before the silence, before goodbye Before we learned that nothing survives
We don’t keep what we love the most It turns to songs and faded ghosts And I’m still trying to stay In a world that slipped away
It’s all just sand in my hands Like the last slow dance at the end Every love, every friend Just a moment we couldn’t defend
We were firework summer gold Now we’re shadows in the cold Tell me where it all went I’m still where it meant
Everything
(Oh-oh-oh) Neon signs, VHS (Oh-oh-oh) All we had, we lost in it (Oh-oh-oh) Still I call your name In a life that won’t stay
